Wonder at the Stars
"Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens."
— Isaiah 40:26
Creator of the stars,
Nights sometimes offer magnificent starry skies. These stars that have shone for millions of years remind me of the immensity of the universe.
Thank You for these starry nights. For their beauty that fills me with wonder, for their grandeur that brings me back to humility, for the mystery they represent.
May I take time to look at the stars. To contemplate this free and magnificent show, to marvel at creation.
Amen.

Reflection
If weather permits, spend a few minutes looking at the stars tonight. Let yourself be filled with wonder.
For all those who have lost the capacity to wonder.
